Do you have to have everything together and be completely ready in order to make 7-figures and have an enormous impact? Spoiler alert (and the great news): No. When you offer something to a specific group of people who are hungry for help, when you meet a need no one else is meeting, when you make a commitment to show up – no matter what – you can have an amazing business. To talk about what this looks like and how it can come together, I’m excited to have Katrina Ubell, MD on this episode. We discuss several topics around building a thriving business, including identifying people’s needs, ROIs, working through perceived certainty (and uncertainty), and staying connected to our purpose. One point Katrina really is energetic about is finding your passion and staying committed to it.  “When I’m having intrusive thoughts about… ‘you should just get rid of this thing… go run away… you don’t have to do this’... But I really want to make an impact on this group of people. This group of people needs the information I have to share. And I just then start thinking how disappointing it would be to them. Someone had that answer and they just stopped or gave up… and what a shame, there’s all these people that aren’t going to be helped.” – Katrina Ubell, MD What You’ll Learn Making 7-figures starting at nothing Designing your niche by identifying external needs Choosing wise investments for your business Perceived certainty (and uncertainty) Staying connected to purpose A peek into How to Lose Weight for the Last Time Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Katrina Ubel, MD Katrina in her own words… As a pediatrician, I always struggled with my weight. For decades, I lost and gained the same 40 pounds. I tried every diet and program under the sun. Some worked for a while, but I’d always regain the weight. In 2016, I finally figured out how to make weight loss permanent. I developed a program to help other busy physicians like me who often de-prioritize their own wellness. As a weight loss coach, I’ve now helped over 1,300 busy physicians and professionals find and stay at a healthy weight and achieve the same peace and freedom around food.

Fear can be pretty sneaky. It can appear like problems – especially ones you’re not sure how to tackle or overcome. But those problems might just be uncertainty, not difficulties you can’t navigate. And fear and uncertainty magnify problems by making you feel alone. But let me assure you, what’s stopping you from moving forward in your business is not only common, it’s very normal.  It’s normal to feel stuck, to wonder if we need to change things… a lot of things. If you’ve ever pondered: “Should I change my niche?”, “Should I change what I charge?”, “I don’t know if my program is (fill in the blank)”... you are experiencing normal business frustrations. And it’s important to find practical, workable solutions to them. But because fear feeds sabotage, it is even more important to really open yourself up. Doing so moves you through any places of fear and doubt… and on to helping those you are gifted to help. “When you notice you’re stuck or you’re self-sabotaging, or you’re lost or you’re overwhelmed, and you have your coach work with you to find out what’s there – you will have that fear come up.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Fear of Success Capability overwhelm Fear of Caretaking Unhealthy responsibility Fear of Failure Avoidance Fear of Disappointment and Disappointing Stifling progress Ways fear disguises itself Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

We’ve all had that experience at least once, right? That time a sales call or presentation left us with a really bad taste in our mouth. It felt sleazy, slimy and you knew you'd never say yes. Afterward, you vowed to never be that person. Whether you like sales, hate them, or land somewhere in between, we all want our potential clients to have a comfortable, positive sales experience with us. Even if they decide it’s not for them. Before we begin, I want to encourage you. Even if you find sales uncomfortable or intimidating, you likely already have a great foundation, you simply don’t know it. Why? How? Because we all naturally tell people about things we like and we’re passionate about, without thinking anything of it. And really, that’s sales at its core. You can build on that by mixing in a few key sales elements and a little authenticity to make sure your potential clients always have a fantastic experience.   “The truth is, we’re all selling all the time… Something I do with my clients is really help them to notice what it feels like when they are sharing something amazing that they love and there’s no money involved. And that feeling and that experience is what I call your unique sales energy… You’re better at selling than you think.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Why you have a great sales foundation Reflect on a great experience Sold without realizing it Draw from positive experiences 6 key sales elements #1: Have your client’s best interest at heart #2: Listen to fears and help overcome #3: Help your client visualize #4: Assume they want to work with you #5: Don’t be afraid to compassionately ask hard questions #6: Give your client the gift of closure Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

As coaches, it is our desire to reach and help as many people as possible. Having your own podcast is absolutely one of the best and most economical ways to accomplish that. But getting started and maintaining a podcast can be daunting. How exactly does one edit and produce their own show? What kind of equipment should you use? What about editing software? Should you have written show notes?... Frankly, some of us might relish the technical stuff but others of us have absolutely no desire to deal with it. Regardless, we all want to share our expertise and release more hope and love into the world. That’s where people like my podcast guy, Daniel Abendroth, come in. He and his wife, Michelle, own Roth Media, LLC, a podcast production company. I wanted to have him on for this episode to help guide anyone who is considering starting their own podcast or possibly looking to do less work to produce their current podcast. Among other points, Daniel and I discuss the benefits of starting a podcast, when it might be the right time to start, how you can lean into your gifts, and how consistency is key. “For coaches, [podcasting is] an amazing tool to grow your business and connect with your audience in a whole different way… From a listener standpoint, there’s this weird intimacy. You feel like you’re sitting with a friend, chit-chatting or, like, just listening to them talk about something that they’re passionate about… It also gets them to know you… whether or not you’re the right coach for them.” – Daniel Abendroth What You’ll Learn For the love of podcasting What podcasting does for your business When you should consider starting a podcast Lean into your gifts Identify your ideal client Consistency and batching The complexity and time commitment of a successful podcast A few equipment and media source recommendations Contact Info and Recommended Resources Royalty free music sources: MelodyLoops.com and Uppbeat.io Podcast editing software: REAPER Learn how to use REAPER: reaperforpodcasting.com Schedule a FREE consultation with Daniel and his wife, Michelle: rothmedia.audio/schedule/consultation.

Roth Media offers podcast editing, production and consultation to make their clients’ shows sound smooth and professional, while saving them time and money. When Daniel began his podcasting journey, he wanted his ideas to reach more people. Then while creating his own show, he fell in love with podcast production and wanted to use the skills he’d developed to help others share their ideas. Before long, Daniel discovered how very needed his expertise is. An unfortunate truth became apparent: Most new podcasters simply don’t make it. The low barrier to entry allows anybody to start a podcast but very few have the drive to keep going, and even fewer have the ability to handle everything on their own. Thus, Daniel’s passion to help coaches and solopreneurs positively impact the world through podcasts was born. As Daniel’s journey to improve his own podcast editing skills continued, he also launched Reaper For Podcasting. The editing software, REAPER, is what Daniel uses but he discovered that the learning curve to use it for podcasting, as opposed to music editing, was pretty steep. So he created a channel to share what he’s learned so other podcasters can use REAPER more efficiently and effectively. rothmedia.audio Instagram Twitter Facebook Linkedin | Daniel Linkedin | Roth Media Reaperforpodcasting.com Youtube Facebook Reddit Connect with Molly Claire Give Molly a gift!

Certainty in your business and finances is the goal of every coach. You have a mission to bring life change to others, impact the world, and make a positive difference. Of course, to do that you have to be able to last through ups and downs in the economy. As you build your business during unstable times, there are ways to increase your resiliency. In this episode, I’m excited to share some of them. I believe in order to recession proof your business, you first must recession proof yourself. How? By focusing on your message, choosing your influence group very wisely, and adapting to meet current needs.  “Adaptability is the key to succeeding in any environment… We need to find the balance of having systems in place, having order, having a plan, following it… And also being able to easily adapt, and shift, and shimmy, and meet the needs of our clients and meet the needs of the world now.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn How we interact with money It’s about the message Engage with growth-minded people Choose your people wisely Exercise adaptability Contact Info and Recommended Resources The Masterful Coach Collective starts in September!

Knowing where to turn for help in building your business can be daunting. Not only do you have nearly countless options on how to receive guidance and training, the sheer number of areas in which you may need help can be overwhelming. Sharpening your skills, balancing your life and business, expanding your reach, tailoring your offerings, strengthening your connections… The list goes on and on.  That’s one of the reasons I created the Masterful Coach Collective. In it, we strive to guide coaches to the next right steps for them. We offer help, advice, strategies, assignments and more to help you move your business forward while supporting your life. We tailor help to you, individually, because what is the best for one person may not be the right choice for another.

Limiting beliefs can be inherently part of our nature as women. Some of them can come from our upbringing, some from society, and some from experiences as adults in the workplace or business world. Regardless of where they originate, limiting beliefs absolutely must be addressed in order to fully step into our place in the world. To talk about all this, I have invited three amazing women to share on this podcast episode. Each of them stand as examples of women who want to create something big, while remaining committed to honoring themselves, their personal priorities, and impacting the world with good. They really represent the manifesto of The Masterful Coach Collective Community. In the Community, we support one another as we face the common challenges of women entrepreneurs, especially in rising above limiting beliefs. “We believe in supporting women to rise to their potential. That each woman may overcome her limiting beliefs and feel powerful and free. We give permission for each woman to honor her own personal values and priorities. That she may be at peace with her life and herself. We stand together in collaboration. We learn from the best. We support each other to become our best. That each of us may expand in our ability to do good in the world. We believe that self-care is honorable. That women may thrive personally and give their best to others too. We cultivate self-trust, self-knowing, and self-confidence. That each women is powerful enough to stand alone, but in wisdom, she chooses to stand with others in goodness and growth.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn The Masterful Coach Collective Community manifesto Collaboration without competition The power and energy of feminine support Ways we drop the ball Bringing life situations into cooperation Find what lights you up Use your voice Do it anyway Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Mikki Gardner Mikki is a Certified Life Coach who helps women become loving, strong, effective co-parents and create a life full of resilience, abundance and joy after divorce. mikkigardner.com Connect with Crystal Hanson Crystal is a Certified Life and Advanced Relationship Coach who specializes in helping women and couples who feel disconnected, or even miserable in their marriage, learn tools to bridge the gap and create the relationships they’ve always wanted. crystalhansencoaching.com Connect with Ashton Barrett Ashton is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and non-diet, weight-inclusive Certified Personal Trainer.

I've seen too many coaches have a nervous breakdown while building their biz, but it DOESN'T have to be that way. This episode talks about this common challenge and HOW to prevent it (or recover...)

I hope my advice helps you prepare ahead of time so you can minimize the struggle and thrive in your business! “It really doesn’t matter what you accomplish or don’t.

[But] no one is self-made. All of us are made from all of the parts and pieces of everyone in our life. And there is so much power in that.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Meet Lisa, Lisa and Carrie The secret sauce of effective coaching Expand your clients’ experience Explore and use your personal magic Craft a personalized approach Embrace self-trust Own that it’s great to be you Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Lisa Hatlestad Lisa Hatlestad is a Master Certified Coach, writer and teacher who has trained and coached hundreds of coaches.
